I am so sick of all of these commercials telling people that Obamacare has to be stopped. What about the people who want it? A majority of Americans want health care reform! We are sick and tired of paying so much extra money for medical procedures and doctor visits. And that is those who actually have adequate insurance. What about everyone without insurance, or people like me who have limited health insurance that only covers some things. but doesn't help if you have a major diagnosis? What do you do when you get diagnosed with cancer and don't have any way to pay for treatment? If the republicans in Congress have their way, I guess you just die. If you don't have money then too bad. I am just so sick of the political rhetoric.
Sometimes, I just wish these politicans would get a taste of real life. Maybe lose their insurance and then have someone they are close to get diagnosed with a serious illness. Let them decide what is more important, medicine, food, shelter, etc. Wouldn't it be nice to see what their reactions would be?...
Even IF I agreed with everything else the republicans preached, and I don't, I could never vote for someone whose main goal was to repeal the healthcare law.

ObamaCare
My comments posted to article about Employer's possibly dropping health insurance coverage under President Obama's health care plan.

As someone with a pre-exsisting condition who gets very limited health insurance through my job, I completely support a universal healthcare plan. Even if I had to pay more in taxes at least maybe I would be able to afford to go to the doctor to keep an eye on my condition. Since my specialist is not in my plan I would have to pay hundreds of dollars up front just to see him, let alone all of the tests I would need since I haven't been to the doctor since I got this insurance. Something has to change. We need healthcare for everyone. My life, and many others could hang in the balance. Sometimes I wonder what these Congressmen would do if they lost their coverage (or someone in their family lost theirs) and then they got diagnosed with cancer or some other serious disease. How would they like it?
